Own a custom app that gets you paid

As social media platforms chop and change their policies and algorithms, influencers are starting to realize that these apps are not always the most sustainable source of income or the best way to reach their audiences. Dropping engagement rates, competing social media influencers and other issues make these influencer platforms less and less profitable.

As a digital influencer, there will be a point when your and your follower's needs are no longer met by a simple social media app. This is a sign that it’s time to consider a custom app for your influencer community. Think of it as diversifying your streams of income and giving yourself more peace of mind.

One of the biggest benefits of launching your own dedicated community-engagement app? Money. Lower influencer app marketing costs and rates, exclusive rights to sponsorship and ad opportunities, and the ability to fully own your outgoing content. Plus you get to create a pretty nifty space for your followers to hang out too. 

Some influencers believe that TikTok, Facebook or Instagram offers the best monetization options for expanding their reach while maintaining their current audience, but this isn’t always the case. They aren't the best for influencer relationship management either.

Influencer costs can be high when you’re making use of a social media app to grow your community, and you’re always subject to the dreaded algorithm changes that make your content disappear. 

When using a custom app for your influencer community, you retain all the power. That means you can reach your audience directly 100% of the time, control 100% of your content and 100% of the partnerships you want to take. It's an influencer app that pays every time.

It’s the difference between using public transport to commute and buying your own luxury car.

Just like there are all kinds of communities, there are also different types of influencers. 

Macro-influencers are the big names everyone thinks of with audiences ranging between 40,000 and 1 million on a single social network. Micro-influencers on the other hand are individuals with between 1,000 and 40,000 followers going from mainstream to niche channels of entertainment and engagement. 

At NineTwoThree Venture Studio we serve influencers with communities of all sizes.

Building a custom app as an influencer is a powerful monetization tool that goes beyond the average social media platform. That's why Facebook, Instagram, and other influencer collaboration platforms aren't up to scratch.

Want to build an in-app tipping system or influencer marketplace store? Consider it done. Want to create different levels of subscription for your audience to access exclusive content? Totally doable. Want to set up a space where you can live stream or have potential sponsors reach out to you? Easy. 

The choice is all yours and the sky is the limit. No third-party app giant needed.

When deciding to build a custom app for your community or followers, influencers need to collaborate with agencies that have a proven track record in creating community-based apps.

Mighty Networks was built for scale, Circle was built for teaching and Facebook is selling your data. You should feel comfortable that you have a solution built with the security and privacy of your audience in mind while also meeting your requirements for monetization avenues.
